  1. Ok I am having an issue with my charging system. I have read and tried everypossible remedy I could find and now Im out of resources and asking for the experiences and know how you guys have... Alright I have a 70 and just put a new engine in it (350c.i.) and things seem to be fine until a couple weeks ago I noticed my gauge at about 11.7v while i was driving... I automatically thought Alt. I had to goto work the next morning so I put it on the tender and in the am drove over 20 min with my lights on to work with no problem. I kept doing this and would try to fix it in the eves. with no change... its got a new starter and ex.volt reg. (Autozone $20 about 3 mos ). Alternator (Oreilys Ultima 61 amp) is only a couple days old and I just got back from having them test it again to make sure it was good since the first was bad right out of the box. Battery (Interstate) is 2 days old. Ive checked the wiring and cleaned every connection I could find on the battery Alt, Regulator, horn relay, splice and grounded the block to frame, and cleaned others on the fender and firewall and ended up running a loop from battery to alt neg post to block to Alt bracket.. I checked noltages at the Bat key off -12.5 running 12.31 Alt running post to post is 12.31 Volt reg key on eng off F-0v #2 .01v #3-12.31v #4 .05v Eng running-No changes. From what ive read #2&4 should have voltage running around 3.2 and full v respectively and shouldnt have any when KOEO. I also borrowed a delco Int. reg alt. 12s from a friend and jumped the F-4 and 2-3 at the Volt reg connection with no difference.. I checked my Gen light and forgot I put LEDs in when I got the car but I thought I took them out so I checked them and made sure they were reg bulbs and now the Gen lite is on when keys on and engine is running.. Im stumped I dont understand how I can drive it with barely any drop in voltage (drives at about 11.7-8v) w/lites on. I see that it dips slightly when I hit the brakes though.. Could it be the gauge and the dummy lite? I saw the Alt had wiring diag. for either or. Is it a wiring problem?? Fuse panel??? Sorry so long but i was trying to give as much info as possible... Thanks in advance for any ideas fellas....Let me know if more info is needed Ill test whatever and get right back and I can post pics if necessary too..
